One of my all-time favorite Glyos figures is Commander Sullkren, and MK II is coming March 30! This version has more paint applications and a slightly higher price tag than the original, but still cheaper than eBay. Note painted toes, shoulder tampos, painted shoulders, plus some panel lines on the new guys - this will likely be a hot series. Click here for more pictures and details.

Also up for grabs, a matching Dark Traveler, Argen MK XI (black), and a gold Noboto.

Sullkren plays a role in the Mordles comics, so you may want to just snag one while you can. Also, Matt Doughty let slip that the next release will be Glyaxia - so clear some space on your shelf for blue and yellow in April!

Despite what the name may conjure up in your head, the OMFG Mimic Armorvor
isn't in that oh-so-fleshy color but rather a unique shade of blue that
was used for the very first (and subsequent) Onell Design exclusive
OMFG mini-figures. It's similar to early Pheyden plastic hues, and
comes to you completely unpainted - accurately mimicking the deco of
some OMFG figures, hence the name.[ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]

I've been itching to see a new painted style of Crayboth and Spy Monkey Creations surprised me by delivering a Crayboth Eaglet.
Generally speaking the Onell Design figures are unpainted or have a
couple of painted parts - shoulders, thigh, cannon - and a few panel
lines. This one tosses that out entirely and gives the little guy
painted "eyebrows," shoulders, a "beak," painted thighs, and yellow
"talons" in "air quotes."[ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]

Something old and new - Argen MK X
is silver like the early Argen figures, but features a much lighter
silver which Onell Design mastermind Matt Doughty has likened to
Hasbro's recent Ultron from Marvel Legends. This one has a few
extra bits and pieces - it was bundled with a set of Axis Joints, plus
there's a new two-part head. One side has a swell robotic visor, while
the other has a bit of an ominous, more alien design with a single large
black eye. The head itself is what probably caused this figure to sell
out in such a hurry, combined with the relative lack of Buildman-based
characters like Argen as of late.[ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]

Onell
Design is nothing if not clever - numerous smaller runs of figures
continue to sell fairly well, to the point where new, similar releases
are required to fill demand for Johnny-come-latelies. The Gliporian Crayboth
is similar to one of the first eight Crayboth figures from a few years
ago, in that it was also clear orange. Matt Doughty's tireless search
for the most eye-pleasing plastics continues to yield fantastic results.[ READ THE FULL REVIEW ]
